Red Flag 454 Posted August 22, 2017 Swindon will not want to give up the 2nd leg at home- and the stadium will probably make arrangements with BAGS for that one night. The A means afternoon, this happens every Monday at Wolves and finishes at about 6.20, easily sorted for 7.30 start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 22, 2017 When we won the league the second leg was at Poole, the problem was that we did not have any more home meetings to celebrate the win. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rosco should have put on a celebratory meeting. But there you go eh. But i wouldn't worry yourself you aint going to win it this year..

Fourentee 987 Posted August 22, 2017 Rosco should have put on a celebratory meeting. But there you go eh. But i wouldn't worry yourself you aint going to win it this year.. Well, they are certainly in form and currently top the table. Which team would you expect to win? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 22, 2017 Do what we do, be there and celebrate on the night Many fans did go and after the rain off did not go to about the third attempt. Rosco should have put on a celebratory meeting. But there you go eh. But i wouldn't worry yourself you aint going to win it this year.. At least we will not be near being in the relegation meeting that could be the option for your lot . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elmo 274 Posted August 23, 2017 I was looking forward to the imaginative approach the BSPA would take to a Leicester v Ipswich or Sheffield promotion/ relegation tie. Who would Danny King, Kyle Newman, Lasse Bjerre or Josh Bates ride for? Maybe they can ride for the home team in each leg 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadders 4,134 Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Relegation/promotion would only work if the team winning actually wants to be promoted. It's not like football where you're guaranteed a vast amount of money moving to the top division. Glasgow wouldn't want to be promoted as they'd lose all of their local meetings with Edinburgh. The closest club to them would be in Manchester! Edited August 23, 2017 by Shads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who would Danny King, Kyle Newman, Lasse Bjerre or Josh Bates ride for? I thought that the ruling was that the rider would ride for the club that owned him, and then if that failed ride for the club who he made most appearences for this season.

Most appearances? Not heard that before, would almost always favour the championship side as they have more meetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagrag 704 Posted August 23, 2017 My understanding from speaking to the Leicester promotion in the event of any clashes with riders have same teams in relegation meetings is that they were expecting that riders would ride for the home team so at Sheffield Bates and Bjerre as Tigers and then at Leicester for the Lions. I am a little surprised that the promotors have dropped this idea as financially it would have been a good money earner for both clubs as Leicester fans generally travel well especially if it was against Sheffield or Ipswich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then we should be damned grateful. The method you suggest for deciding teams is just bonkers. More Mickey Mouse than anything I gave ever heard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
